Richard Quotations | Page 2

We're fortunate Richard has been such a good defender through the years.

We have so many veteran guys like Willie McGinest, Mike Vrabel, Richard Seymour, Larry Izzo, guys that have been in the fire. We lose those two guys (Bruschi and Johnson), but other guys have really stepped up to really meet that challenge.

We have reached a settlement with CNN. The amount of the settlement is both confidential and, under the terms of the agreement, cannot be characterized, except for me to tell you that it was a monetary payment to Barbara Jewell, the mother, and Richard Jewell.

When the Securities & Exchange Commission settled securities-fraud charges against Richard Harriton, former chairman of the clearing subsidiary of Bear, Stearns & Co., there were smiles all around. The SEC was happy. Harriton was happy. Bear Stearns was happy.

There are many different kinds of comedians ... the observational humorist, the impressionist, the character creator, the physical comedian, the self-deprecator, the dirty-joke teller. What made Richard so brilliant is he was able to incorporate all these styles at once.

Life-writing calls for any number of dubious gifts: A touch of O.C.D., a lack of imagination, a large desk, neutrality of Swiss proportions, tactlessness, a high tolerance for archival dust. Most of all it calls for an act of displacement. 'To find your subject, you must in some sense lose yourself along the way,' is Richard Holmes's version.

So I've realized that this outfit is part of Richard Petty now. And the real Richard Petty is still hidden behind these glasses.

Since the time of Richard Nixon, there has been a strange lack of will in the media to identify the real cause for Americans' anger at politicians who fall, publicly and spectacularly.

'Sir' Richard Branson may be the Julian Assange of British business, in that both believe the world revolves around them. Hence Branson's decision to set up an air service between Manchester and London, above the route of the train line that's been taken from him.

May we never let the things we cant have, or dont have, or shouldnt have, spoil our enjoyment of the things we do have and can have. As we value our happiness, let us not forget it, for one of the greatest lessons in life is learning to be happy without the things we cannot or should not have. Richard L. Evans

My feeling was that, as much as Richard Dean Anderson is a beloved actor and character in the show, Ben is coming in with an established fan base from another show playing a great character, and he's just very enthusiastic to be there. Fun to work with. It looks very bright.

No contemporary poet has brought so much lived experience into such formally perfect poems as Richard Wilbur.

Obviously when a national labor leader like Richard Trumka is sent to Kentucky, that indicates an act of desperation that they recognize the popularity of giving employees a choice.

My dream role is Richard Pryor, no question about that. I'm a big Richard Pryor fan. I've always been intrigued about the darkness behind his comedy; that would always be a dream role for me.

More than half the combat deaths in Vietnam occurred after Richard Nixon was elected on a promise to bring the war to an end, and after the American people had already decided that they did not want one more soldier to die in Vietnam.

My family took a vacation to Universal Studios when I was really young. Me and my brother Richard - who's also an actor - were both really intrigued by seeing the behind-the-scenes stuff of how films are made. We kind of begged our parents to get into acting.

My family still lives in Ireland-and my sisters are always terribly interested in who the next guest star might be. When they got the call that Richard Chamberlain was coming on the show, it was met with squeals of delight.

Obviously, the timing of this is not great for us, but we will grant Richard his request. We wish him the best of luck.

Ricky's never been interested in the business side of things, ... All Richard is interested in is boxing. Even when I could get him to come along to meetings he'd sit there and text his mates the whole time and wouldn't pay a bit of attention. After some meetings I've turned to him and said 'Do you want to know what that means?' and he's just said 'No, you deal with that, dad, I just want to fight'.

Richard worked something out and went in. Hines, when you consider where he is in his career, has got to do a deal while he's at the top of his charts with his performance. His risk is greater than that of a 25-year-old.

Richard will not let his coverage be determined by anything he may have received for free, or any other benefits, including the trips and the bachelor party.

Richard will have scans in the morning but it's got all the symptoms of another reconstruction.

Richard will bring to the organization a valuable combination of senior operational management of a global enterprise, business transformation skills and a proven record of creating shareholder value.

Richard will be riding for Mr Pipe, that is correct.

Richard was the King and did a tremendous job with fans and for NASCAR, so he was entitled to the 'King' title,

Richard was doing his job - keeping people like that outside of the club. Obviously, that guy did not need to be in there with other people.

Richard was a bright guy. He had a lot of good travel skills, obviously. Many (escapees) just stay right around Salem, so we've been able to bring them back into the hospital. We haven't been that lucky with Richard.

Richard wanted me to play him aged 11 and 15, but as soon as he saw how tall I'd grown - I'm six foot two - he had a rethink and cast another boy as his younger self.

Richard told me 'I know you're either going to stay where you are, or you're coming to work for me. There are a lot of things out there for you, but that's all there is to it. And you know what you need to do.'

Richard Simmons is a great addition to Sirius' all-star lineup. He has a tremendous fan base throughout the United States and this will allow him to have intimate and personal conversations with his supporters on a weekly basis, as if each and everyone of them were in his studio in Beverly Hills. Richard's quick wit, passion and enthusiasm will make truly entertaining and enlightening radio.

Richard said 'My dad missed it'. He said, 'He'll never have a chance to see that again.

Richard said, 'I'm not choking him, it just looks like I am choking him.

Richard Reid, like any defendant, is free to plead guilty to criminal charges. The Justice Department has not entered into any plea agreement with Reid.

Richard read nearly 45 years worth of the National Tribune on microfilm, which is an incredibly difficult thing to do.

Richard Quick has undeniably been one of the top coaches in the history of swimming, ... He has developed our women's swimming and diving program into one of the most respected and successful programs in the history of collegiate swimming. We wish him success in all of his future endeavors and thank him for his service to Stanford University.

Richard Pryor was the Rosa Parks of comedy. He took risks and chances that made it possible for a whole generation of comics to exist. No one ever rocked the mike like Richard Pryor.

Richard Powers brings over 12 years of teaching and administrative experience at the University of Toronto to his new position, as well as a wealth of experience in the not-for-profit sector. I look forward to working with Richard to ensure that our MBA programs continue to grow and prosper.

Richard P. McCormick was one of the luminaries of the Rutgers history department. I met him when I was first hired at Rutgers in 1974. He befriended me from the time I arrived. I drove out to see him only last week. We had an hour-long conversation, a wonderful conversation. I promised to come back. I didn't think it would be so soon.

Richard Nixon went to China, and Ronald Reagan sat down with the Russians. Today President Bush has the same kind of opportunity to change his course. But it will take more than just a speech to do it.

Richard Nixon was just offered $2 million by Schick to do a television commercial - for Gillette.

Richard Nixon was a very complex man. I don't think he was a conservative, nor liberal, not even a moderate. He was a pragmatic politician. He loved politics.

Richard Nixon never raised a hand to Mrs. Nixon, ... Their affection and respect for one another is well known to all who knew them. It is inconceivable that he would have struck her for any reason. No family member or close friend has ever reported witnessing such behavior. The book contains no evidence, only rumor and second- and third-hand hearsay by the dead.

Richard Nixon is very much a self-made man in the six years prior to his emergence as a national figure. Between the moment he's elected to Congress in 1946 and the moment he's inaugurated as Vice President in 1953, he conducts nothing less than a kind of prodigy of American political self-advancement.

Richard Nixon has a very distinctive on-stage sound. He also has a very distinctive off-stage sound. And he's a little bit more angry off-stage. Surprisingly so,

Richard Murray must have some names on his shelf.

Richard M. Helms, the first director of Central Intelligence to rise from the ranks, was fond of saying that the CIA had been founded to make sure that there would never be another Pearl Harbor. Underlying this mission impossible was the wishful supposition that an America that knew everything could prevent anything.

Richard Lester is a wonderful director, a great comedy director, of course.

Richard Kerry not only was a pilot in World War II, but was a civil servant. He did not come from money.

Richard Jefferson is going to be more involved in Game 2. We know that Jason Kidd is going to be more involved from a scoring standpoint in terms of his aggressiveness. Carter, you can talk about his bad shooting, but he still had 31 points. He missed a lot of point-blank shots he normally makes. They're going to be more balanced in their attack.

Richard is so disruptive. He's disruptive every time we go against them in practice. He is the best defensive lineman in the league.

Richard is planning to do a 500-mile engine reliability test and I'd hope to do that for him. Then, we're hoping I can drive a race later this year at either Atlanta or Homestead, which are both tracks that should suit me pretty well.

Richard is a senior member of the House's Transportation Committee, ... I was on a relevant Senate committee. We were both named to the joint legislative committee which developed the final version of the bill. If not for Richard's leadership, a lot of this wouldn't have gotten done.

Richard is an outstanding leader and strategic thinker who has the experience and vision to grasp the challenges and opportunities facing BBC Children's. I am confident he will build the output and reputation of the department both nationally and internationally.

Richard is an outstanding leader and strategic thinker.

Richard is an outstanding coach who has been in the NFL for 17 years. I coached with him in Houston and have always thought he was one of the best coaches I've had the chance to work with.

Richard is a multifaceted kind of guy. He can probably do anything he sets his mind to.

Richard Hugo taught me that anyone with a desire to write, an ear for language and a bit of imagination could become a writer. He also, in a way, gave me permission to write about northern Montana.

Richard Holbrooke is known for many things, but I will remember him as an impressive, sometimes even intimidating diplomat who understood the value of culture in diplomacy.

Richard Hendrix was terrific today. He was a real presence. We did a good job of getting the ball inside and rebounding the ball. Richard especially.

Richard Hatch is not a stupid man. He is the world's worst bookkeeper, bar none.

Richard has not been forthcoming in answering where the car was, what the car was doing away from the shop,

Richard has made key additions to RCR that will benefit the organization, ... We are both committed to make 2006 a successful season.

Richard has given me everything I need to succeed. I expect our team to be very competitive.

Richard has been abusing things, bringing three to four classes and a camp down.

Richard has a perfect storm of a problem, ... If rates go up, his appraisal business could go down, the value of all his properties go down, and his mortgage payments go up.

Richard had an excellent ear and knew exactly what a young artist needed to be singing ? or needed to be avoiding ? in order to make the most of a career. Of course, he was also helpful to them and to everybody because he had an encyclopedic knowledge of opera.

Richard Donner's friendship and guidance showed me that there's more to life than being an actor.

Richard could probably play at a push, but we have some big games coming up and it would be foolish to risk him. We had signed JB for such an eventuality and he joined us for training last night.

Richard Chamberlain was a joy to work with-extremely gracious-generous actor. I was thrilled to meet him. I have very fond memories of being madly in love with him during the time of The Thorn Birds.

Richard called one day and said, 'You know, I want to pitch this movie to you,'

Richard Burton is my number one idol. One, because we come from very similar backgrounds and two, because of his fantastic talent.

Richard asked me how things were going and I told him that it could be better. He said, 'Hey, if you ever decide to drive a stock car, call me. So, I did.

Richard asked me how things were going and I told him that it could be better, ... He said, 'Hey, if you ever decide to drive a stock car, call me. So, I did.

Richard Armitage is very good at the old horse riding because of course he did it in 'Robin Hood,' so he's very good at that.

Richard and I have talked about running the Busch Series, but he wants to be 110 percent ready when we do unfold a Busch program,

Nobody can ever over-estimate the service Richard Shaw has given to Coventry City.

I would probably go so far as to say that I couldn't act before I met Richard Ayoade.

I would have to say that Richard Nixon is probably the most gifted and skilled political practitioner, in his pre-presidential years, of all of the American presidents in the 20th century.

I wish I could go back and race against David Pearson and Richard Petty.

CB Richard Ellis has a national presence and will be able to reach out to their vast network of offices to help us reach our goal of attracting jobs to New Mexico.

CB Richard Ellis' conclusion confirms the board's consistently stated view that the key opportunity available to enhance value for all Wyevale shareholders stems from more intensive use of our sites through higher performance retailing, not from break-up, 'sale and leaseback' or large scale redevelopment of sites.

But there's nothing to be scared of here. It's all good news for the industry as a whole. People are excited about music. They're all in the record shops buying the CD, and, while they're there, there's a good chance they'll buy another one. I'll bet Richard Ashcroft sold a few more copies last week than he might have done otherwise.

Bush is the most aggressive user of executive power since Richard Nixon.

I'm a proud graduate of the Richard Petty Driving Experience, ... They wouldn't let me go any faster than 140 mph and I didn't particularly like that, but what a thrill to be able to participate in something like that.

I'm always going to counsel and advise student-athletes in their best interest. Right now, Richard is in a position where he is expected to go on the first day of the draft, and he believes he's ready to start making a living in the NFL. I can't argue with that.

I'm a huge fan of Richard Curtis - there's real grief, real compassion in his films as well as cheekiness; it's a wonderful cocktail.

I did it with Rip ( Richard Hamilton ), Eric Snow . How many times do you get to see your team? And he's so current. He played with all those guys.

Getting Richard on board would be a real bonus for us and hopefully we can tie something up in the near future.

Francis Underwood was entirely based on Richard III. When Michael Dobbs wrote 'House of Cards' in the original British series, Richard III is what he based the character on.

For me, when you are talking about perfect songs, you're talking about Gershwin, 'Someone To Watch Over Me.' Or Larry Hart and Richard Rodgers. Or some of the great Cole Porter songs, whether it's 'Night and Day' or some of the comedy songs. Or Irving Berlin, of course.

If it turns out that something indisputably proved that this notorious killer was someone other than Walter Richard Sickert, I would be the first to offer congratulations and retract my accusations.

If that was an indication the clutching and grabbing is going to be gone now. I really noticed it on the power plays. You know that crosscheck on the back? I didn't feel it. That'll really make a difference with Derian Hatcher, Richard Matvichuk, Chris Prong ... hold it. He's on our team now.

Here is a highly respected in-house lawyer who was making a positive reputation as a council member. I have not spoken to Richard but I think it is a shame that after just two years when he was filling an unexpected vacancy he does not have the opportunity to carry on and maintain the positive impact he had already made.

We look for Huff and Henderson to do good this year. But we don't want them to be our only weapons. We've got a lot of guys we can rely on. Richard and Eric have shown they are capable. We don't want teams to be able to key on just one or two players.

Hunting is deeply ingrained in our folklore and heritage. Just like Richard Nixon watched the Washington Redskins play football, here you go kill Bambi or some birds and you're part of one of the boys.

He was hanging his head, his coat wouldn't turn - it was almost like he was depressed, ... Richard decided he was craving attention, so he moved him to a paddock near their house. His wife and daughter started feeding and playing with him every day. The horse perked right up, and when Richard went to training him, he was better than ever. After his second five-eighths, Richard told me, 'This horse has another Breeders' Cup in him.'

I wouldn't say it's unusual. In terms of moving from one institution to another, if Richard felt like it was time for change, it certainly seems like a logical move to make.

Jackie Robinson was honored in the U.S. Capitol Wednesday. What a ceremony. It doubled the number of statues in the rotunda because when it was mentioned that he was a lifelong Republican and Richard Nixon supporter, the Democrats turned to stone.

Keith, Richard and Jino have been pretty steady so far and one of my top players in Anthony Cook didn't play because he was sick. Next week he'll be all right. I'm pretty happy with some of our progress.

John Kennedy won the first televised presidential debate among those watching it, while Richard Nixon won among those listening on the radio.
